Charlotte, North Carolina (CNN) -- President Barack Obama will set specific goals for economic growth, energy development and deficit reduction in his speech on Thursday night accepting his nomination for re-election by the Democratic National Convention.

Obama begins laying out a difference between himself and GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, a major theme of his address tonight: "On every issue, the choice you face won't be just between two candidates or two parties. It will be a choice between two different paths for America."
